They are such a tight fit on the OEM 19" rims that even a small stone can get jammed between the caliper and the rim and make a terrible screeching noise.
It happened to me and it was so loud the car in front of me pulled over thinking there was some thing wrong with their car!
So big is not always better. With the AP Racing set I'm now good to go.

lol I begrudgingly agree with all of this.
My solution is to spend a lot of time staring at the brakes and marveling at their size. That's really the thing they're best for, so might as well get what I can out of them.
